Welcome to Hectanooga!

Hello and welcome to my blog!

Some of you may know me from my pattern shops on Ravelry, or Etsy. Where I have a library of crochet and knitting patterns.

Some of you may know me from my YouTube channel where I have been posting videos of all of the things I love to create! Crochet, Food, Jewelry, Paper Crafts, Art and so much more. The one thing that's for sure, is that if I make it, it's been simplified or created out of "thin air!" Well, that's what I'm told anyway!
